About Kingfield Primary School

Kingfield Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 85 applications for just 30 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.83. That means nearly three families applied for every spot. Of those 85 applications, 27 were first-preference offers, and the school had 30 first-preference applications in total, so the vast majority of families who put it first were successful. While there is no parent survey data available in this dataset, the sheer demand for places is a strong signal that the school has a good reputation in the Woking area. The school is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a mixed intake and no religious character. Headteacher David Jackson leads a school that currently has 247 pupils, which is above its official capacity of 210, so it is running full.

Academically, Kingfield Primary performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 83% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Surrey local authority average of 66%. That puts the school second out of 20 primary schools in Woking, placing it in the top 10% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top 7% of all primary schools. The school also does well at the higher standard: 17% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark in all three subjects, with 47% reaching that level in reading and 40% in maths. Average scores were 107 in reading and 106 in maths. Ofsted inspected the school in September 2023 and rated it Good across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The previous inspection in 2012 also rated it Good, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time.

The school offers a range of facilities including a library, playing fields, forest school, art studios and a chapel. Sports on offer include netball, cricket, tennis and gymnastics, and there are clubs for drama, choir, coding and eco club. For children with additional needs, the school has provisions for social, emotional and mental health support, speech, language and communication needs, autistic spectrum disorder, and other difficulties or disabilities. There is nursery provision for younger children. Given the high oversubscription, families living close to the school or with a strong connection to it will have the best chance of securing a place. Kingfield Primary is a strong fit for families who want a well-regarded local primary with solid academic results and a broad range of activities, but they should be prepared for competition at the admissions stage.
